Emergent announced the launch of Wingman, a new autonomous AI agent designed to function as a personal assistant across professional and business workflows, extending the company’s vision of making advanced technology accessible to non-technical users.
Wingman operates as an always-on agent that can manage a wide range of ongoing tasks, including scheduling, social media management, sales support, research analysis, and hiring. The product builds on Emergent’s existing platform, which has enabled more than eight million users across 190+ countries to create and deploy production-ready software.
The agent is designed to work within tools professionals already use, integrating with platforms such as Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack, CRMs, and engineering tools like GitHub. Users can deploy multiple Wingman agents simultaneously, each focused on different responsibilities, effectively creating a distributed team of AI assistants operating in the background.
A key differentiator of Wingman is its approach to autonomy and control. The system establishes clear trust boundaries, automatically executing low-stakes tasks while requiring user confirmation before taking more consequential actions, such as sending mass communications or modifying important data.
Wingman is embedded within commonly used messaging platforms, including WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage, allowing users to interact with their agents through familiar interfaces. It also runs based on schedules and event triggers, rather than relying solely on manual prompts, enabling continuous task execution.
The platform emphasizes ease of use, requiring only simple sign-ins to connect with external tools, without the need for developer-level setup or complex permissions. An integration hub expands its connectivity to additional services.
Over time, Wingman improves its effectiveness by retaining short-term context, storing user preferences, and recalling past interactions across sessions. Users can also customize tone and personality, allowing the agent to function more like a trusted operator than a conventional tool.
Wingman is available immediately through Emergent’s platform, marking the company’s expansion from AI-powered software creation into fully autonomous digital assistants aimed at everyday business use.
KEY QUOTE:
“Most people aren’t failing at productivity. They’re buried under the smaller tasks that never stop coming. We proved with software creation that the right technology, built the right way, reaches everyone. Wingman applies that same principle to autonomous agents. Now, anyone can have an always-on team working in the background, not just people who know how to build one.”
